Problem
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often face challenges in recognizing, understanding, and managing emotions, which can lead to difficulties in social interactions and increased crisis situations.

The platform provides immersive educational experiences through interactive games and structured pathways that support the development of emotional skills. By focusing on the six primary emotions (joy, sadness, fear, anger, surprise, and disgust), Emoface helps users improve their ability to recognize and communicate emotions effectively. The tools are co-created with therapists and researchers, ensuring they are grounded in research-backed methodologies and tailored to meet the specific needs of individuals with ASD.
